Enabling DataStax Astra DB Data Searchability with Elasticsearch

Apache Cassandra® has been a popular choice for developers and enterprise IT managers due to its unmatched read and write performance at scale. However, manipulating this data has often been challenging because of Cassandra's log-style, row-oriented architecture. To address this issue, DataStax recently partnered with ElasticSearch to integrate Change Data Capture (CDC) for Astra DB and ElasticSearch, enabling direct searchability and manipulation of Astra DB data in Elastic’s environment. This integration turns the massive amount of existing Astra data into valuable searchable assets. Additionally, DataStax Astra Streaming is a fully managed cloud streaming service built on Apache Pulsar, offering high throughput and several built-in transform features. Developers can easily set up the Astra Streaming Sink to ElasticSearch directly from the Astra UI. This integration will be particularly useful for large enterprises seeking to leverage their existing data to drive meaningful business value with minimal resource commitment. By combining the power of Astra DB's infinitely scalable database, Astra Streaming's real-time streaming capabilities, and Elastic's real-time search capabilities, enterprises and developers can now enjoy the best at-scale database without sacrificing real-time data usage.
